Heinz Laffin was born in Germany in 1926 and immigrated to Canada in 1953. He took night classes at the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University) studying with Robert Weghsteen among others. There he met Wayne Ngan as well as Leonhard Epp. Laffin and Ngan shared a house in Vancouver for several years and then, in 1967, the two friends moved together to Hornby Island. They jointly purchased a parcel of land and planned to build a communal kiln-equipped studio. The two remained close friends. Heinz Laffin made functional pottery throughout his many decades of creating, and sold it from his Hornby studio, just down the road from Wayne Ngan. Heinz Laffin passed away in 2023.
